I have looked everywhere and still need a little info about the big ass race this weekend. I have a few friends coming and want to give them a heads up on what to expect. I tried calling the track, but no answer and their mailbox is full.

Does anyone know if you can pay to park in the 'Credentials Parking'?
Instead of parking and catching the bus from a mile away?
I'm pretty sure I parked in the Credentials Parking area right by the entrance gates 2 years ago. Just want to make sure my friends can park there this year. And what is the price of parking?

Also, on their website - it does not say that you can't bring in alcohol. It only says no kegs or glass containers.
Can anyone confirm the alcohol situation?

And lastly, I am riding the KLR 650. Parking is free right next to the gate if you are on a motorcycle, correct?

Thanks for any info that you can give. Here is a map showing the Credentials parking area, etc.

Yes, you can park in the Credential parking. Buy the parking pass before hand:

Seems like the beer question comes up a lot:

Years past motorcycle parking has been free, shouldn't change for this year.

Go Shorty!

Close in (Credential parking) parking is right across the street from the entry gate. $25.00 per auto.
Don't have any more answers.
Bring an umbrella. Might have rain.

Bought ticket online for the all day pit passes and the Close in (Credential parking) as oacjr mentioned from the tickets link on LakewoodMX site. http://www.tvmx.net/.

As far as bringing beer in I have never had an issue
